In Bynea, the Common mouse-ear (Cerastium fontanum); Hedgerow cranesbill (Geranium pyrenaicum); Marsh cranesbill (Geranium palustre) and Meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris) were all in flower. There was also lots of activity from large (Bombus terrestris) and small (Bombus pratorum) bumble-bees. In Penclacwydd, the Bluebell (Endymion non-scriptus); Silverweed (Potentilla anserina) and Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) were in bloom. There were lots of mating St Mark's flies (Bibio marci) buzzing around a little late for their name day. In Loughor, Wild turnip (Brassica rapa); Sweet allison (Lobularia maritima); Rock cinquefoil (Potentilla rupestris) and Ramsons (Allium ursinum) were out and about.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
